The Ninth District Court of Appeals recently held that there is sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction for OVI where the driver admits to ingesting a drug of abuse, and there are signs that the driver is impaired. In State v. McQuistan, 2018-Ohio-539, the Court held that in order to convict a motorist of OVI, there must be a nexus between the motorist’s impairment and either a drug of abuse or alcohol.
